请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。请将答案写在答题纸上的相应位置。(每空1词) The Chinese are very generous(慷慨大方的) when it comes to educating their children. Some parents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia, regardless of how much this costs. Many also want their children to take extra-curriculum activities where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children"s skills vary; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today"s children lack self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever. Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence. An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and arouse his interest. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but rather they teach them to think, and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.

There is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling. If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will write only words within his spelling range (范围). That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability. I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience:“This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a sharp criticism(批评) of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted (略过) to read the composition, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priority had centered on the child"s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement. 小题1:The expression “play safe” probably means ____. A.to write carefully | B.to do as teachers say | C.to use dictionaries frequently | D.to avoid using words one is not sure of | 小题2:Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that____.A.students will be able to express their ideas more freely | B.teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes | C.students will have more trust in writing | D.students will learn to spell words correctly | 小题3:The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgement on that sensitive piece of writing is____. A.reasonable | B.unfair | C.foolish | D.careless | 小题4:The major point discussed in the passage is _______.A.the importance of developing writing skills | B.the importance of spelling | C.the correct way of marking composition | D.the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition |

Pay Attention to the Organization of an Article. Check Your Understanding. Lightning Speed Exercise Set Aside Time Each Day. Check Your Progress through Pacing Speed up When Necessary. 小题1:______ Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some specific regular activity. For example, one famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each day. Whether he went to bed at 10 p.m. or 2:30 a.m. made no difference. 小题2:______ Nearly all ‘speed reading’ courses have a ‘pacing’ element---some timing device which lets the students know how many words a minutes he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. 小题3:______ Obviously there is little point in increasing your reading speed if you do not understand what you are reading. If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you can’t remember clearly the details of what was said, re-read the section or chapter. 小题4:______ Take four or five pages of an interesting book you happen to be reading at the time. Read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not bother about whether you understand or not. After a ‘lightning speed’ of reading, you will usually find that your ‘normal’ speed has increased. 小题5:______ Most paragraphs in an article have a ‘topic sentence’ which expresses the central ideas. The opening paragraph often suggests the general direction and content of the piece, while paragraphs that follow expand or support the first. The closing paragraph often summarizes the very essence(实质) of what has been said. |
The life-long benefits of teaching children how to take care of their money make it well worth the effort. Children who are not taught these lessons pay the consequences for a life time. Some parents don’t teach children about money because they think they shouldn’t talk about money with children, don’t have the time, or think they don’t have enough money. Parents should take the time to teach children about money regardless of their income and should start when children are young. Most people have strong feelings and opinions about money, based on childhood experiences and the values and beliefs of their families. Most often, these experiences, values, and beliefs are different for each parent. Parents should talk about these feelings and opinions and establish an unchanging approach(方式) to teaching children about money. This is important for the healthy development of children. Here are some tips that parents can keep in mind as they begin teaching their children to manage money: ★ Guide and advise your children how to spend their money, rather than tell them what they can and cannot do. ★ Encourage and praise children rather than criticize their actions. ★ Allow children to learn by mistakes and by successes. ★ Be consistent(前后一致的) while taking children’s differences into consideration. ★ Include all family members in money management discussions, decision making, and activities that are suitable for their age. As children get older include them in discussions of limits and consequences. ★ Expect all family members to do some everyday chores based on their abilities without being paid. ★ Express your desire to have things you can’t afford. Children need to know that parents say “no” to themselves, too. 小题1:It is _____ for parents to teach their children about money management in their childhood.A.easy | B.useless | C.too early | D.beneficial | 小题2:15-year-old Harry isn’t good at managing his money. His mother is advised to _____.A.explain to him how to manage his money better | B.pay him more money to deal with his chores | C.praise him for what he has done | D.allow him to buy what he wants | 小题3:When parents discuss how to manage the family finances, they should _____.A.include their children in the discussion | B.express their desire to have some valuable things | C.pay more attention to their children’s differences | D.try to meet their older children’s needs first |

Where on Earth are you? Navigators (导航员) use lines of latitude and lines of longitude to locate places. Lines of latitude run east and west around Earth. On a map or globe, these lines appear as running sideways or horizontally. Lines of longitude run north and south around Earth. These lines go up and down or vertically on a map or globe. These lines create an imaginary graph paper on the Earth. They make it possible to find an absolute, or exact, location on Earth. They even allow us to give an absolute location to a place out in the middle of the ocean. Lines of latitude tell us how far north or south of the Equator we are. Sailors have used primitive navigation tools, like astrolabes, since ancient times. The astrolabe uses the sun and stars to find an approximate location. Using such tools, they have been able to approximate their distance from the equator. Although their instruments may not have been the high quality we have now, they were incredibly accurate (精确) for their time. Lines of longitude tell us how far east or west of the prime meridian (本初子午线) we are. Sailors constantly looked for new ways to increase their navigation skills. Still, it wasn’t until the 18th century that they were able to measure degrees of longitude. They would have been very envious of the technology available to us today. When we use lines of latitude and longitude together, we can get a very precise location. If we want to identify the absolute location of a point, we look where the latitude and longitude lines cross nearest to that point. We use the coordinates (坐标) for that point as its address. Many maps today include degrees of latitude and longitude. 小题1:______ make it possible for people to find an exact place on Earth.A.Latitudes | B.Longitudes | C.Navigators | D.Sailors | 小题2:The second paragraph mainly talks about _______.A.the function of latitude | B.the use of the equator | C.the invention of astrolabe | D.the high quality instruments | 小题3: Why do maps include degrees of latitude and longitude?A.To help trade expeditions. | B.To locate a precise place. | C.To cross the lines of the nearest point. | D.To identify how far a place is. | 小题4:The best title for this passage is ____________.A.The map and the globe | B.Latitude and longitude | C.The equator and the prime meridian | D.Absolute coordinates |
